Blogarrhea: Mark Dresser, Marcello Pellitteri, Lisa Hilton, Adam Karch and Matty T. Wall are People to Know in 2017
Blogarrhea Best of 2016
It's been a rough year. Most of my friends are sticking up their middle finger to 2016, as am I. I can only wonder which heroes of mine will bite the dust in 2017...but that's for another Blogarrhea. The following annual all-list blog is not supposed to represent the most important or the best-selling or even the most accomplished CDs of 2016. I have done nothing my entire life but listen to music and tell people about it. So these are the ones I got the most excited about. Before the lists commence, please note that Leonard Cohen's 'You Want It Darker' (Columbia) and Paul Simon's 'Stranger To Stranger' (Concord) are my two favorite CDs of 2016. That said, on with the show. Blogarrhea Internationale From New Orleans, New York City, Mississippi Delta, India's Himalaya Mountains and Zimbabwe
Galactic trombonist Corey Henry debuts on Louisiana Red Hot Records with 'Lapeitah.' The eight vocalists, four trumpeters, five saxophonists, two tuba men, four bassists, three keyboardists, four drummers and an electric violinist on Henry's co-production and co-written barn-burners strut their considerable stuff on a funked-up joyous ode to life itself. THIS is the CD Trombone Shorty has yet to make.
